GW Pulse Report - UK 2025

GW Pulse: UK 2025 offers data-led insight into the United Kingdom’s industrial gas landscape, equipping professionals and consultants with the tools to evaluate market conditions, forecast demand trends, and guide commercial strategy. Drawing on over two decades of macroeconomic and industrial activity data, this intelligence product focuses on end-user segments relevant to the merchant, bulk, and packaged gas markets.

GW Pulse: UK 2025 provides:

Core Economic Indicators – Detailed metrics including UK GDP growth, industrial production index (IPI), inflation, and industrial energy pricing trends that shape gas usage across manufacturing, healthcare, electronics, and other key sectors.

Visual Forecasting Tools – Interactive dashboards to support demand modelling, scenario comparison, and long-range planning through to 2025.

Market-Ready Insights – Designed for industrial gas producers, distributors, and strategic consultants focused on sector positioning and commercial risk management.

This essential resource helps industrial gas stakeholders make confident, data-backed decisions in a rapidly changing economic and regulatory environment.

GW Pulse: UK 2025 provides a structured dataset capturing UK-specific macroeconomic drivers and industrial activity trends from 2000–2025. The tool includes nominal GDP (%), industrial production index (IPI), inflation, and indexed industrial energy prices — all of which directly influence merchant and packaged gas demand. Built for analysts, planners, and strategy teams, the resource supports demand forecasting, investment modelling, and segment-specific planning across gas-consuming industries (excluding energy generation and utility-scale gas use). A dynamic dashboard enables visual interrogation of multi-year trends, comparative analytics, and growth trajectory evaluation across relevant end-use markets.
